re: #205 Joanne

When you touch something that literally burns your fingertips, what would possess someone to put that burning item between their legs?

I knew of the case and McDonalds was wrong (I’m someone who puts ice in normal temp coffee), but common sense says dont stick fire next to your cooch.

That is a silly place to put coffee (not that she was planning to spill it). However, McDonalds ended up having to pay out the big bucks because plaintiff showed a pattern and practice on McDonalds part. Lots of people were getting serious burns because of this stuff, and McDonalds was settling out of court for chump change.

The cost of these settlements was less than the cost of a shorter shelf life for the coffee. I imagine that this part of the picture was especially annoying to the jury.
